Aviation Ping!.................

Other reports confirm it was an engine fire.

Why is everyone running through the snow in a mad dash like the plane is about to blow? What is going on?

><
If there was a possible fire, I’d haul ass, too. Seems normal to me.

[Red Badger]

It’s freakin’ COLD!..............

[Flaming Conservative]

Surely not another Boeing screw up?🙄

[Red Badger]

Well, Boeing didn’t make the engines..Either Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney........

Is that smoke near the tail of the plane by the emergency service vehicle?

Hard to tell, as the person recording pans the phone around, there’s some snow haze around, but near the plane it looks darker.

Possibly an engine fire in the starboard engine.......

Jane Fonda wanted the plane to herself

Makes sense. The fire is on the opposite side of the fuselage from the angle of the one recording this. So you mostly see it behind the tail and back.

By the way, I tried to refresh the site 4 times and kept getting a X video load error, and the only way to view it is directly on X, so here is the direct link for others:

Had to call relative whose spouse is a Delta pilot based in ATL. Luckily, their flight out today was postponed 3 times and ultimately cancelled. They had snow on the ground, with ice under it. Most schools and businesses including medical clinics were being closed today, as of a couple days ago. Hope it melts there soon!

“If there was a possible fire, I’d haul ass, too. Seems normal to me.”

Of course. It is actually possible that the people on the ground advised by flight attendants knew more than this smarmy writer.

If there was going to be a fire with a fuel laden jet aircraft I would’ve have been beating cheeks away from the area myself.

Unless someone else had Sticks, Chocolate bars, Graham Crackers and some Marshmallows...

On second thought I’d pass. Jet Fuel S’mores would be NASTY !!!

Seriously though I’m Thankful that everyone got out safely. For the most part.

Doesn’t Rolls Royce make the engines for Boeing?

[Red Badger]

Yes and P&W...............

Did TSA ticket them for being on the tarmac without proper security passes?
